体裁：说明文 话题：大学教育 词数：268 时间：6′
Jiang Zhongjie，19，a second－year student majoring in biology at Xiamen University，looks at job websites almost every day.As summer vacation approaches，he can't decide which internship (实习) position would benefit him.
“I think it is hard to know what would be a meaningful intern job，” he said.“Most of the time，the positions on offer are low paid，boring jobs，such as sales promotion，” said Jiang.
Last month，during an education forum (论坛)，Huang Guitian，assistant to the president of Peking University，called for a halt to the internships of lower quality，regarding them as “dull and meaningless，affecting students' academic performance”．
Huang conducted a mini survey，showing “80 percent of students merely do odd (零散的) jobs on internship”．
But employers and students may have different attitudes.According
to
a
survey
of
116
Beijing
and
Shanghai－based companies by Zhaopin.com，a leading human resource services site，nearly 60 percent said they still valued applicants' hands－on experience most.
Zhang Jianhong，HR director in Huawei Technologies Co.Ltd agreed with this idea，believing that internship even goes beyond gaining experience.“An internship actually offers a great chance for students to get an inside glimpse of a company，an industry and a particular occupation，” he said.
He says it can help interns discover whether the career they are considering is suitable for them.And if students are aware of which industry they would like to enter，Zhang suggests that they select an internship in a relevant field，with the potential to turn into a formal job offer.
